Why SSL certificate is important for a website


SSL works by ensuring that any data transferred between users and websites, or between two systems, remains impossible to read. It uses encryption algorithms to scramble data in transit, which prevents hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection. This data includes potentially sensitive information such as names, addresses, credit card numbers, or other financial details.

The process works like this:

1.   A browser or server attempts to connect to a website (i.e., a web server) secured with SSL.

2.   The browser or server requests that the web server identifies itself.

3.   The web server sends the browser or server a copy of its SSL certificate in response.

4.   The browser or server checks to see whether it trusts the SSL certificate. If it does, it signals this to the webserver.

5.   The web server then returns a digitally signed acknowledgment to start an SSL encrypted session.

6.   Encrypted data is shared between the browser or server and the webserver.
